A cheap variety Of refined petroleum,
which is bought here at about cents per
gallon. is used in heating and cooking
stoves. The process OF conhagration is
something like that Of natural gas. Those
using it say that it is much cheaper than
coal. II crude petroleum could be used the
results would be much better. for some Of
the elements thrown out in the process of
refining would make good fuel. The use
OF the crude oil in stoves which are now
employed would stick up the pipes. but in
veniive genius Is at work in this line, with
prospect of good results. That crude pe-
troleum is to be very extensively used fer
fuel purposes is q settled fact already. In
Russia process for solidifying petroleum
has been discovered. by which the oil Is
made into cakes, Of the consistency OF tai
low, which burn slowly, as fuel, but give
cut q great degree OF heat. Petroleum,
which is now drug in the market. and
hardly pays for pumping out Of the earth.
is likely to rival coal in due time, and TO
put down its price. Cheap fuel In the near
future is certainty, and we do not hesi-
tate to predict that. by some means or 9TH
er, We shall yet have fuel for power-pro-
ducing purposes at cost corresponding TO
that of natural gas.

TIE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.
The good people of Texas have sub
mitted to them for their ratification or
rejection, on August 4, six distinct and
separate changes to the organic law Of
the state. Unfortunately for Us the en-
tire discussion of these changes SO fer
nave been confined to the first, which is
tae prohi5itory Law. Orators and news
papers that have 7entuTed from shore at
al, hsve been engulfed IN this maeIstrom
which has swallowed everything that
came in its way. The five other amend
meats to the constitution are OF great
Importance and should be thoroughly IN
derstood. The GAZETTE viii explain
each briefly and as sucCinCtly as possible.
In regard 10 the prohibition amendment,
al that is necessary 10 say is that in
voting on this proposition 1t is imperative
that tickets shall read either "FOr State
Prohibition" or against State Prohibi-
ton" Ballots reading otherwise will be
thrown out.
The next amendment to be voted or is the
one changing the duration Of the sessions
Of the Legislature from sixty 10 ninety
days and fixing the pay Of legislators st
So per day. OF this amendment little
need be said. The increase in per diem
is only $50 10 each member, and will not
amount TO much. The people of Texss
cannot afford TO have their laws made and
a5airs managed by S2-a-day lawmakers.
Representative men cannot be found
willing to spend their time in Austin at
50 day. There are few Cheap John
demsgogues, who are willing to go to
the state capital for this sum, but
IS general rule it would pay the state
better TO give them double this sum and
have them remain at home. a legislator
